I never plan my meditations, it's just what comes to mind in the moments before I start streaming. Then the words come out of my mouth. Today I had a clear vision of a red balloon as I sat for a few moments with my eyes closed.I said, I think I can use that. What unfolded was a beautiful meditation that made our breathing light and effortless. It brought our gaze skyward drawing the energy upward. It gave us a symbol to draw the energy from the sun and hold it within our being, using it for love and healing.Can't really think of a better way to end the day.Enjoy the red balloon meditation.Namaste my friends. -If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Meditation is a progressive activity, and making tiny incremental improvements to your technique can make huge differences.Tonight's meditation, we'll focus on relaxing the tongue and unlocking the throat.Making your throat as open as possible and becoming aware of your throat wanting to temporarily close as your breathing changes direction, means that you can constantly relax the throat and allow you to breath completely unrestricted.If you can breathe with without your throat locking, you release a lot of tension in the body, your breathing becomes effortless and distraction free.Keep refining your meditation technique and you will refine your whole being.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Hopefully by now you realize that there's a method to my madness. I'm giving you little breadcrumbs or stepping stones with each of these meditations. Getting you to explore the world of energy with meditations that get you to observe the inner workings of you being.Sound and resonance are such a good form of meditation. With this meditation, you will generate the sound inside your mind (no need for you to embarrass yourself like me - this video will go viral for all the wrong reasons).The sound will rise in pitch and then fall in pitch with each breath. And while you're doing that, you'll observe very closely how each frequency affects different parts of your being. Lower frequencies act on your lower abdomen and higher frequencies up through your chest and into your head.So we're playing with sound, but the resonance and vibration is energy that will activate the chakras at those specific locations in the body. We're all different so find the frequencies that seem to resonate with you.Namaste my friends.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Meditation is a process of self observation, learning and understanding. Peeling back the layers and discovering new things about yourself.This meditation will take a deep breath and analyze the effects on your body. You'll feel the breath. You'll feel the wave of relaxation. You'll feel the energy burning at the base of your spine and will draw that energy upwards. You'll also feel that energy descending through your body as a wave as you relax on the out-breath.You will observe the mechanics and the tiny muscle movements. You'll experience energy moving. You'll experience peace, calm and an abundant joy moving throughout your entire being.Enjoy my friends.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Hi everyone, so this will be my last morning meditation. But don't worry, I will still be recording and streaming the evening relaxation meditations.I feel like more people are watching and benefiting from the relaxation meditations rather than the focus meditations. Timing of the morning meditations is tricky, getting kids ready for school, getting ready for your commute, time zone etc. there are just too many factors that limit people's ability to join me.So I made an executive decision to stop the morning meditations and instead use the time to start talking about the spiritual side of meditation. I love meditation for the physiological benefits that people can reap with about 5% of the effort. But if you're on a spiritual journey, you'll know that the remaining 95% of the journey can be really tricky.So that's where I'd like to use my own personal experience to help dispel some of the myths and show people which doorway to walk through and which path to walk down. If you know where you're heading, it's so much easier to move in the right direction.Enjoy this meditation, it's actually a good overview of the basic principles of meditation.Thank you everybody that supported me on this journey. And hopefully you found a little peace and got a different perspective on the relationship you have with your mind and body.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Actively taking control of your breathing forces your mind to pay attention.All we're doing with this meditation is adding a little pause at the top of your in-breath and the bottom of your out-breath. Similar to square breathing, but just a slight stutter of a pause. It doesn't need to be long and it doesn't necessarily need timing. Just a little bump in your regular breathing pattern is enough to let your mind know that you're in control. It makes it so much easier to remain focused on your breathing and drop into a deep state of relaxation.I also talk about stress and anxiety at the end of the video. It just takes body awareness and constantly releasing muscle tension. Taking a deep controlled breath to bring your focus back to the present rather than allowing your mind to pull you into the future or dwelling on the past.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Mindfulness meditation typically focuses on the breathing. Why? Because breathing continues to happen whether we pay it any attention or not. It spans conscious and subconscious awareness.But then again, so does everything else in our physical existence. For this mindfulness meditation were going to focus on a different part of our physical existence. We are going to meditate on the sensation caused by gently squeezing our thumb and forefinger together.Just like the bullseye on a dartboard, it's a tiny target and the squeezing gives us a sensation to focus on while the rest of our body is completely relaxed.During the meditation, each time we notice that our mind has wandered and taken our awareness with it, we squeeze our fingers a little tighter and then return to watching.Just keep doing that until you're squeezing tightly and then start to back off the pressure. All we want to do is change the pressure and change the sensation each time we notice our mind has wandered and we lost focus.So enjoy this mindfulness meditation and wait til the end of the video so you can find out how I use this mindfulness technique while driving to become the silent witness.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

No, that's not a click bait title. This is the best meditation for beginners and seasoned experts.Simple meditations are difficult, but simple meditations offer the deepest connection with your spiritual side. Why are they difficult? Because focusing on watching paint dry requires such intense concentration. For a beginner meditator, the skill is building that focus. For a seasoned expert, the skill is taking that focus and returning to the silence of watching paint dry.The focus actually become softer and hence, less focused if that makes any sense at all.This is my go-to meditation technique. Continued relaxation. Each breath focuses on the stillness at the top of the breath and then continues the deep relaxation on the exhale. 1 - Breathe in.2 - Notice the stillness.3 - Exhale and allow the wave of relaxation to descend through your body.Rinse and repeat. This simple technique will get you into the deepest states of relaxation where your mind will fall asleep and you'll start to become acquainted with your spiritual side.-If you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".
